The Switch
by Beth O'Leary
When Leena is forced to take a two-month sabbatical from work she head's to her grandmother, Eileen's house in the country for some rest and relaxation. Eileen is 79 and recently divorced. She wants to find love, but doesn't think she can in her small town. Leena and Eileen decide to swap houses for the two months so Eileen has a chance at love and Leena has a chance at some down time.
I always like stories that include swapping houses, and I thought this one was done really well. The fact that it was a grandmother/granddaughter swap is original to me. I loved how feisty Eileen is, and at 79 starting a new dating life was definitely an adventure. She was definitely my favorite character. I liked how both Leena and Eileen interacted with the people in each other's lives in totally different ways and created something out of their living situation.
I listened to the audiobook which I would highly recommend. Both narrators did and excellent job. This is set in England so they do have British accents in case that is something that you don't like, but I really enjoyed it.
If you're looking for a cute read that isn't too serious, you should check this one out. There are some serious parts, but mostly, it was a fun story.
